Products that do what Cowork/Codex DOCX plugin. Uses 2x fewer tokens than the docx skill does
Hi HNers, I'd like to share our DOCX plugin for Cowork and Codex. It uses 2-5x fewer tokens compared to the traditional docx skill because it doesn't write any code nor execute python/node script. It is also much more reliable. Our DOCX plugin converts docxhtml bidirectionally. This means AI only operates on HTML. AI is excellent and very efficient when it comes to HTML. Most libraries (if not all) support docx->html, but none supports html->docx. This is what is novel about our approach. Here's the demo:…

We are working on an open-source .docx editor library for apps that need to edit Word documents in the browser. We just shipped 1.0. A lot of existing approaches convert .docx into HTML and lose document semantics along the way. Our editor parses OOXML directly and uses its own rendering+layout engine to produce paged documents with html/css. Edits round-trip back to .docx, so you’re always editing the document, not its representation. The core rendering engine is framework agnostic, with React and Vue ui adapters on top. It’s Apache 2.0. Happy to answer questions.

Word in web is a pure JS docx editor/renderer benched against MS Word directly. This was largely inspired by Eigenpal going closed source, and some personal frustrations I had with working on complex Word templates, pleading papers, etc... and not having a clean way to view/edit them without owning MS Word (which I did just eventually buy but it sucked). This was also an exercise in highlighting the value of good evals for Agents to bench against. Instead of just throwing the OOXML standard at an agent and letting it spin, I put together a large corpus of Microsoft Word docs -…

It’s well known at this point that documentation needs to be optimized for AI agents - we’re all pointing our Claude Code / Codex / Pi agents at documentation, and expecting the models to figure out how to implement a product. This, however, changes the entire optimization problem when writing documentation. Good documentation now becomes more objective - you are solving the very concrete problem: can a dumb harness running the dumbest model implement this reliably? Humans can typically compensate for inconsistent terminology or scattered context across pages, but for agents, this…
